♪♪ >> Steffy: Hope, please listen

to me.

>> Hope: No, I cant.

I cant live with the knowledge that Im keeping Liam from your

children.

>> Steffy: Hope, youre a woman of substance.

For years, yeah, I underestimated you.

We were young.

And I was selfish.

>> Hope: Steffy...

>> Steffy: Listen, the one thing I had to learn the hard way --

when youre hurt and when youre willing to do everything to make

it stop, you need to force yourself to sit with it instead.

The surest way to a catastrophe is to do something drastic

to stop the pain.

Thats why Im alone.

It cost me my marriage.

But that doesnt have to happen to you.

>> Liam: Im sorry, I dont even -- I dont know even know

why I said that.

>> Bill: No, wait, wait. Liam -- Liam, come on, I mean, you cant

drop a bomb on me like that and not flesh it out.

Liam, please.

>> Liam: What am I doing -- No, I cant talk to you about

this.

>> Bill: Liam! Son!

I get it. I do.

But if Steffy, the mother of your child, my grandchild, is

going to be a forbidden topic of conversation for us, the only

thing were ever gonna talk about is the freakin weather!

Look, I -- I am painfully aware of why you and Steffy arent

together.

But if what youre saying is that Hope, your wife, is saying

thats a mistake that needs to be corrected...

do you?

Is that what you want?

>> Sally: Spectra is rising from the ashes, all thanks to you.

>> Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] Well, there are still negotiations to

be had, like...

What if Dad wants to call it something stupid, like

"Spenstra," you know?

Hes gonna try and put his name in there, or something.

>> Sally: Yeah, okay, well, if Im starting from a "yes," I

think I can pretty much negotiate anything.

>> Wyatt: True. True.

>> Sally: No one has ever stood up for me the way that you have.

>> Wyatt: Well, to be fair, my brother tried.

>> Sally: Yeah, but that was different.

>> Wyatt: Why, because we didnt get blown up?

>> Sally: Hey! Dont laugh!

>> Wyatt: I just -- >> Sally: That can really ruin

your day.

>> Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Sally: And I thought it ruined my life.

But then there was you.

>> Wyatt: You...

[ Chuckles ] ♪♪

>> Sally: So your father must really want you back...

>> Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] >> Sally: If he wants to take us

on as a package deal.

>> Wyatt: Well, I think being in competition with Ridge Forrester

also appeals to him.

>> Sally: So, when are we gonna tell Steffy?

>> Wyatt: No. No, no.

We need to make sure that this arrange is signed, sealed, and

delivered.

>> Sally: Okay, but what if he tells her first?

>> Wyatt: No.

He wont do that.

Trust me, he needs to keep his distance, otherwise, hes gonna

be radioactive all over again, and he knows it.

I do believe, though, hes done with this mid-life crisis thing.

He wants to be a family man again.

The only thing missing is...

the family he exploded.

>> Katie: Hey.

>> Donna: Hey.

My turn to go back to work.

>> Katie: Yeah, uh, Wills home?

>> Donna: Yeah, hes outside playing a game I dont

understand with a toy I cant identify.

>> Katie: That sounds about right.

Anyone call?

>> Donna: Expecting a call, from Thorne, maybe?

>> Katie: Uh, no, I dont think Im gonna be hearing from him

for a while.

>> Donna: Oh, so from Bill, then?

>> Katie: Bill doesnt call.

He barges in.

>> Bill: All right, fine.

Your wife wants to leave you and you dont want to talk to me

about it.

>> Liam: No, you see?

You see how you are?

I never said that.

>> Bill: Liam, your wife wants you to be with somebody else.

Is that really so different?

>> Liam: [ Sighs ] You have never understood Hope.

>> Bill: Well, shes a different Hope.

And Im a different me.

But I know that she has loved you steadfastly for years.

Somehow, thats changed?

>> Hope: You didnt lose Liam.

I mean, not really, and he still loves you, Steffy.

>> Steffy: Liam and I didnt come to this arrangement on our

own.

We set goals, we made decisions.

>> Hope: And that was when we all still believed that he was

having a child with me, and now thats never gonna happen.

>> Steffy: You dont know what the future holds.

>> Hope: No! No, I cant.

I cant go through another pregnancy again.

I cant lose another child.

>> Steffy: Dont say that.

>> Hope: I dont even know why Im married anymore.

I mean, youre more his wife than I am at this point.

>> Steffy: Hope, what are you talking about?

You have the man.

You have the ring.

>> Hope: And you have his children.

>> Steffy: Child.

Liam has no relation to Phoebe.

>> Hope: And that could change once youre back together.

And I know, you dont have to say it, its sweet of you not

to, but...

I know you want the same thing, too.

>> Sally: Are you thinking or frowning?

>> Wyatt: Uh, thinking.

That requires every muscle above my neck.

>> Sally: Thinking about...

The correct answer would be me.

>> Wyatt: You -- You, yeah.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

>> Sally: Mm-hmm.

>> Wyatt: You know how cows have stomachs?

Well, I have two brains, and one of them is always thinking about

you.

>> Sally: Thats very smooth.

>> Wyatt: [ Laughs ] And the other one is thinking

about my brother.

>> Sally: Liam?

Why?

>> Wyatt: Well, if my dad is serious about putting the family

back together, Liam can bargain just like I did.

>> Sally: Okay, but what does Bill have, or what can Bill do

that Liam would want?

>> Wyatt: Good question.

Thats why Im frowning.

I mean, Liam doesnt care about the money, and I doubt that he

cares about the job.

>> Sally: Yeah, but I think he does care about having a father.

>> Wyatt: You know him better than I thought.

I mean, hes already made amends with Will, so theres no

bargaining needed.

But theres just one more family member who he stomped on

mercilessly, and her names not even Spencer anymore.

>> Donna: Okie dokie, Im heading back to Forrester.

>> Katie: I hope Pams in a good mood.

>> Donna: Oh, no, she doesnt really give me grief about my

hours.

Its nice to be able to come and -- well, this isnt really

my home.

>> Katie: It is your home.

You can stay here as long as you want.

>> Donna: Im checking the real estate listings every day.

>> Katie: Why, you want your privacy, is that it?

>> Donna: Mm, you know, what if, uh, somebody else moves in?

>> Katie: Somebody like who?

>> Donna: Oh, I dont know...

somebody you and Will both know.

>> Katie: Well, I cant imagine who that somebody would be,

since Im lavishing all my attention on my son.

>> Donna: Will does seem pretty happy these days.

>> Katie: Yeah, he is.

>> Donna: Especially when Bills around.

>> Katie: [ Sighs ] >> Donna: Imagine how happy hed

be if his father were here every day.

Bye.

>> Katie: Bye.

[ Door closes ] ♪♪

>> Liam: I think that Hope feels so alone that shes putting up

fences.

I think thats what happening.

I mean, we all lost a family member that day, but it was

different for Hope, you know?

She really knew Beth.

She was with Beth every hour of every day.

>> Bill: She thinks that nobody can understand.

>> Liam: Yeah, its like her whole future just collapsed

around her, and the only thing thats making her feel better is

time with the little ones, especially Phoebe, and...

thats a problem because its like Hope is -- is transferring

to Phoebe all the love she doesnt get to give Beth now.

>> Bill: That child already has a mother in Steffy.

What she needs is a father.

>> Liam: You -- You got to let that be, Dad.

>> Bill: Liam. [ Chuckles ] Im not trying to solve this for

you.

I mean, I cant even solve what happened between us.

I can just tell you that I love you and ask you a question --

Are you so sure that Hopes solution isnt the right one?

>> Steffy: You may have the best of intentions, but youre

venturing into decisions that arent really up to you.

>> Hope: Thats because you and Liam are too worried and

concerned about me to admit that this situation is wrong.

>> Steffy: You didnt marry Liam for Beth.

You married him because you love him.

Let this tragedy bring you closer together.

Hope, hes grieving, too.

Dont desert him now.

>> Katie: Hi.

Im surprised to see you.

>> Bill: Yeah, uh, well, you know me, I have a tendency to

forget to call.

>> Katie: I do know that, um, but come on in.

>> Bill: Thanks.

Im unwelcome most places.

Not that I dont know why.

Anyway, uh, I wanted to -- talk to you about my son.

>> Katie: Uh, hes outside.

>> Bill: Oh, not -- not Will.

Im talking about one of my other sons.

The one you and I had a little trouble with.

>> Katie: Mm, yeah.

I asked Wyatt to come back to Spencer.

>> Katie: Wow, well, um...

I guess dont be disappointed if hes happy where he is at

Forrester.

>> Bill: Oh, no, no, no.

Hes accepted to come back.

>> Katie: Has he told Sally?

Because I think they liked working under the same roof.

>> Bill: Well, it looks like thats going to continue.

I agreed to underwrite a reboot of Spectra Fashions under the

Spencer umbrella.

>> Katie: Bill!

>> Bill: Well, that was the right thing to do, wasnt it?

>> Katie: Yes! Yes, it was.

I cant believe you even have to ask that.

>> Bill: I dont.

I just wanted to brag to somebody, and who else would

care?

>> Wyatt: All right.

Lets have a list of your demands.

>> Sally: Could we call it a proposal?

>> Wyatt: Good. Whatever.

Hand me the document.

Wait, hold on. Mm!

[ Clears throat ] [ Chuckles ]

Why dont you, uh, pour us a drink, will you?

No!

What are you doing?

Dont do that!

Dont fall for that!

He could drink a fleet of sailors under the table, okay?

You dont even know what youre signing yet.

>> Sally: Why dont we celebrate after, Bill?

>> Wyatt: Nice! Perfect.

I love that, all right?

Remember, his negotiation strategy is to make you feel

unimportant, less than, so you lower your expectations.

All right. [ Clears throat ] What is this, a typo?

$20 million in seed money?

>> Sally: I would never ask for that much money.

Really, he would laugh me out of the office.

>> Wyatt: Sally!

Do not let him get off easy.

Okay?

He -- He owes you.

He knows hes wrong.

So ask him for anything you want.

Demand it.

What?

>> Sally: Well, what I really want is to tell you how much you

mean to me.

And not just because youre the son of a gazillionaire.

>> Wyatt: Right. Yeah.

I mean, you know, youve seen one, youve seen em all.

>> Sally: And not because youre sweet and kind and funny.

>> Wyatt: [ Chuckles ] >> Sally: But because you get

me.

In my life, thats really rare because I know Im not easy.

All I ever wanted was for Spectra Fashions to rise again.

And now that youre saying that you can do that for me, I...

realize when I wasnt looking that something else took my very

top priority.

You.

>> Wyatt: Mm.

>> Hope: Why cant you see how important this is?

>> Steffy: Hope, you can redesign your life, not mine.

>> Hope: You said Id be deserting Liam, but no!

I am trying to give him a way out of this cold, dark place

that weve been living in ever since Beth died.

I am trying to give him his daughter back, and Im trying to

give Phoebe a father, too!

>> Steffy: My children arent yours to give.

>> Hope: Im the only one being honest here.

You planned a life with Liam, so why shouldnt one of us have the

family that we wanted?

I know you want him, Steffy, and its okay, you can say it.

It doesnt hurt me anymore.

[ Knocks on door ] >> Steffy: Its open!

[ Knocks on door ] >> Steffy: Its open!

>> Hope: Im sure you have a key, you should use it.

This is your home.

>> Sally: I am not good at being in debt.

>> Wyatt: Oh.

>> Sally: Just goes to show you that practice does not make

perfect.

>> Wyatt: Who do you owe money to?

Im really good with bill collectors.

>> Sally: You.

But I cant pay you back with dollars.

>> Wyatt: Will you stop? I -- You dont have to pay me back

for anything.

>> Sally: You just did something really heroic for me.

It is my turn to make all of your dreams come true.

>> Wyatt: I -- I dont really dream much.

>> Sally: Its really unfortunate.

>> Wyatt: I mean, I can.

I mean, I dream now.

I mean, I dream things.

Ill dream whatever you want -- >> Sally: Shut up.

>> Wyatt: Okay. Mm-hmm.

>> Bill: Shes probably gonna want to call "Spectra," or

something.

>> Katie: Of course she is!

Thats the point.

The Spencers arent the only ones that take pride in their

family name.

>> Will: Dad!

>> Bill: Hey, pal.

>> Will: I knew that was your car.

>> Bill: Yeah, whats up?

>> Will: Im so glad youre here.

Look at this.

>> Bill: What do you got?

>> Will: $0.08 interest.

Some "savings account."

>> Bill: Oh, yeah, those hidden costs will kill you.

But, you know what, listen, this is just kind of fun money for

you.

You dont have to worry about it.

Youre rich.

>> Will: How do you figure?

>> Bill: Uh, well, because whats mine is yours, and Im as

rich as it gets.

>> Katie: [ Sighs ] >> Will: Shouldnt I have my own

debit card?

>> Bill: All right, slow your roll there, pal.

All in good time, all in good time.

>> Katie: What is it?

>> Will: You came to see Mom?

>> Bill: Well, I came to see everyone who lives here.

>> Will: Are you two friends again?

>> Bill: What do you mean?

When were we not friends?

>> Katie: Well, you know, Will, um, your father and I are both,

um, passionate, vocal people, and we tend to speak our minds,

and we sometimes do that loudly, but thats...

thats not a bad thing.

>> Bill: Will, uh, your mom is my superhero.

>> Katie: [ Chuckles ] >> Bill: Because she gave me

you.

And I will always be grateful to her for that.

And, listen, uh, you know, both of us, we always want whats

best for you.

>> Will: You could just ask me.

>> Bill: Oh!

All right, well, uh, Ill bite.

What do you thinks best for you?

>> Will: This.

>> Liam: Hope, we just talked about this.

>> Hope: But were you listening?

>> Liam: Yes! And I get it.

I know where youre coming from, a place of strength and

selflessness, but...

now is not the time for you to be making decisions about the

rest of your life, let alone mine.

>> Hope: So when will it be, then?

When the girls are 5, 10?

When theyre already grown up without you?

>> Steffy: You and both know Kelly will never be without

Liam.

>> Hope: No, just once or twice week.

>> Liam: Okay, okay.

>> Hope: No! No! Listen!

Listen to me!

I swear to you, Im thinking clearly, and, baby, I know that

you lost a child, but Im trying to get you to see that there is

a child in there right now who needs you.

And I didnt have my father.

That was an absence I carried with me my entire life, and

please -- please dont do that to Phoebe.

>> Liam: I didnt even meet my dad until I was a grown man.

But I promise you, those are not the cards Phoebe was dealt.

I will -- I will treat her like shes my own.

Right now, though, you and I are more important.

>> Hope: I cant accept that.

Ive already failed Beth, Im not about to do that to Kelly

and Phoebe.

>> Liam: What are you -- That -- That is just factually

not true, Hope!

Dr. Buckingham said so, Dr. Phillips said so...

>> Hope: No, I know what I feel!

I know that if I had stayed awake for the birth of our

daughter that she would be in there right now with Kelly

taking a nap!

But shes not.

Thats not what happened.

So all of the love and caring and support and protection that

I wanted to give to our Beth, I dont want it to go to waste.

I want it to go to Kelly and Phoebe.

And that means two parents raising them together.

I mean, look!

Look at how happy you two can be together.

That doesnt have to be a picture of the past, it can be a

snapshot of the future that you two can share together.

>> Liam: No, no, no, no, no.

No, were not going there today.

No. No way.

>> Hope: No! No!

I am not going to be responsible for keeping a family apart.

Remember the vows you made each other.

Make the life that you promised.
